in which I record my dreams.

​I am submerged in a bean box. Black-eyed peas, I think. The sun has warmed the beans, making it all the more luxurious. I hear someone yelling, “Mommy!” in the distance, so I sink beneath the surface to hide from my children. Even in the dream I'm reminded of that Calgon commercial that I thought was so hilarious when I was young. Now I get it. Like, completely. Which is why I’m burrowing down beneath the peas as the squealing voices of my offspring approach. And there beneath the beans I find forgotten trinkets of my youth:

Red Cash Box with a single digit security code on a dial of ten numbers.

My first sticker book, which was really a photo album with a picture on the cover of a couple walking along a riverbank and the man is smoking.

My old white leather Nikes with the red whoosh and a tribal amount of friendship pins clattering from my shoelaces.

A pair of clamdiggers my mother sewed for my brother in a garish textile, making him the subject of endless ridicule at school day he wore them.

I jump out of the bean box quickly. There could be anything in there.
